“Stunning cottage”



“We really enjoyed our stay at the willow barn cottage. The cottage it's self is a beautiful barn conversion. It's comfortably furnished to a high standard. We often stay in cottages and over the years have accumulated a "kit" of stuff that has been missing or of not a high enough standard, this time we could have lived without our kit! The kitchen was equipped with everything you need and it was all of good quality. The gardens are small but lovely. Parking can be tricky if all the neighbours have parked, but street parking is very close by and quite convenient.”

“Lovely house with an amazing big kitchen and bath. In a nice quiet area, a perfect getaway, lots of things to do including a great day at the zoo :) would have been nice to have some information about the house such as what to do with the bins and how to work the heating and kitchen appliances. Would love to return, wish we could have stayed longer.”

“Stayed here for a week with friends. The cottage was lovely - well presented and decorated. All mod cons available and the rooms were a fair size. As the season had ended, the majority of places were closed, however there are lovely walks to be had close by and also trips out to Cartmel, Ulverstaon, Grange, Barrow and Lake Windermere are musts. The area is lovely and quiet and we spent our nights within the cottage. Theresa re dvd's, books and games already available which was a nice surprise.
Would definitely recommended staying here!”

“beautiful stay”

“The cottage is immaculate and very modern inside. The kitchen and 3rd floor bedroom were my favourite as they have sky lights in so you can see the stars at night. The Raine's have catered for everything in this cottage from cutlery to washing up liquid and cleaning sprays and board games and dvds. Stayed here with my husband and 3 friends and all 5 of us absolutely loved it there! Excellent location for anybody doing a sky dive at skydive north west - it is literally a 15 min walk or 5 min car drive away. Other than that the location is a bit out from windemere / bowness but we still managed to go 3 days out of the 4 that we stayed as it is only about 30 min drive away!”

“We all enjoyed a very comfortable stay in Willow Barn. We tried the local hotels and restaurants but mostly we used Willow Barn as our base. We were out and about every day enjoying everything on offer locally.”

“Gorgeous barn”



“This is a truly gorgeous barn conversion. We were a family of 5 covering 3 generations from age 6 to age 82 and it had everything we needed. Decorated to a really high standard, and a great base to holiday round the lakes from. The only thing that could be added to make this 5 star would be the addition of wifi in the house, even if it's charged for. There is no phone coverage on 4 of the main networks, which made it very difficult to either research places to go, or check in on the dreaded work emails when necessary. Blinds would also be a bonus in the master bedroom, especially in the spring sunshine, but these are really minor niggles in a truly beautiful and well equipped house. The nearby safari park for kids was excellent, and access to other lake attractions is an easy drive. We would definitely visit again.”

“Beatifully appointed home with all the elements to provide a perfect holiday.”

“Wereally enjoyed our stay. We holidayed with our daughters, son in law and grandson. The house is very well furnished and the kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. The house deserved five stars and the house was all we needed in October. I gave it four because the outside area is only a courtyard at the rear and an area at the front with a sitting area no garden. Parking is limited to one car. I would most definatly stay there again.”

About the location

FLOOKBURGH

Cartmel 2 miles; Grange-over-Sands 3 miles.

A superb base to explore this interesting and beautiful area, the historic village of Flookburgh is set near the shores of Morecambe Bay on the outskirts of the magnificent Lake District. It is thought that the locally-caught Fluke fish take their name after the village, and once, Flookburgh was a popular resting point for travellers crossing the sands from Lancaster and still provides a home for cockle and shrimp fishers. Facilities in the village include two pubs, a grocery, a chemist, a Post Office and two food outlets. The Cumbrian Coastal Way footpath passes nearby and a short walk away from the village is delightful countryside and views of the bay and Coniston's mountain range. A few minutes’ drive or a pleasant off-road walk leads to historic Cartmel, with its beautiful Priory, popular race course, antique and gift shops, pubs and restaurants; including the Michelin Star-rated L’Enclume. Just over a mile away you will find the beautiful house and gardens of Holker Hall and also nearby you can try horse riding just six miles to the north at Bigland, or visit the Edwardian resort of Grange, which offers a range of hotels, restaurants, shops, a traffic-free promenade, ornamental gardens and golf courses.
